[Gunpla] I knocked down the stack while practicing at the citadel.

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

It’s a very user-friendly and good paint, as is said in various places.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

That’s cool.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like versatility has improved.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It feels good, but it seems like there won’t be any replies on weekday mornings.

There should be more people during the hours.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to ask for reference, but how much will the paint bottle decrease with this?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

From the side, but it’s about the same height as three HG Gundams with just one Citadel.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

So the green one is about half reduced, huh?

It’s still expensive.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

Will prices not decrease even if the UK joins TPP and tariffs are eliminated?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wanted to paint it in Zaku colors, so I researched and found Deathguard Green.

The castellan green looked really fitting.

>>4

I’ve been layering it about three times, but I’m using very little paint and water.

It stretches a lot, so I haven’t even used a third of it.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really easy to use, except that there are so many colors that it’s hard to tell which is which, and it’s expensive.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking that applying multiple coats might make the paint film thicker.

Surprisingly, it’s not that difficult and you can paint it beautifully.

This time I only used the base color for the armor, but also for shades and such.

I wonder if it will change when I use it.

It feels like the shade is a paint that can be used for panel lining, shadows, and washing.

It’s a paint used to add shading to details after applying the base coat, so if the details are really pronounced, it stands out a lot.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s also incredibly easy to use as a dry brush.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like this rough metallic texture.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you paint contrast over silver, it can be used for sensor colors and such.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m interested, but Yamada Denki only carries Mr. Color and Tamiya Color.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

After several decades, I completely repainted it, and the recent paint was incredibly easy to use, which was a great help.

The barrier to painting has lowered, and it was very enjoyable.

I used water-based hobby colors for the joints and weapons.

The renewal has made it very user-friendly.

I wonder if it’s used like a clear color?

>>13

There are few stores that carry them, and with so many types available, I found it difficult to decide which one to buy.

Yodobashi Camera was a great help by selling at the regular price online.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, when looking at the total, the cost performance isn’t that bad.

Matching the colors can easily cost several tens of thousands of yen…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it’s expensive, I often use versatile colors in various parts.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the shade is not suitable for large flat surfaces because it is optimized for use in intricate miniature sculpting.

If you’re doing it in Gunpla size, it might be better to try using weathering colors.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the tricolor, there is no pure white color that feels truly white!

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

Apply a base color of Corrax White and then layer on White Scar.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did you spray some primer?

If you paint directly on plastic, it will easily peel off.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also used weathering color for overall filtering and inking.

I also used this for the first time, but it’s easy to use!

>>20

I sprayed black surfacer from Creos.

The clearance of the joints has also been ensured, so it should probably be fine…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there’s a difference in how Citadel and Tamiya paint adheres.

I haven’t really done much brush painting, though.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels nice to be chipping away.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, I forgot what it was called, but there was something that looked like cottage cheese; I wonder if it has been improved.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

If it’s Ceramite White, it’s out of print.

Sad

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it because Citadel or Vallejo takes a few days to cure?

One downside is that the texture changes a bit after some time.

Before I know it, it becomes like this.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Choosing a subject that suits brush painting is indeed important.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It goes well with a milky color, doesn’t it?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember that when I dry-brushed over Rhinoxhide (brown) with Citadel’s green shades, it turned out quite nicely.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

The degree of chipping is too skillful.

Spit it out, where is the skilled person?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

What color should someone who only does partial painting have?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Red and yellow for internal use of the vernier.

Universal mech color lead belcher

Black is good for the armor interior and the recessed areas, but dark colors are also sufficient with acrylic gouache.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cool!

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that Citadel isn’t suitable for big things like Gunpla, but can it be used normally?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

It depends on the type and purpose.

As a base color, it can be used as a high-performance paint, but the others have quite a few quirks.

It might be suitable for doing things like cel painting.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

It seems that suitability or unsuitability comes more from details and the presence or absence of irregularities rather than size.

When there are many grooves, it hits perfectly.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Both Citadel and water-based hobby colors dried incredibly quickly, so I was panicked because the paint I took on the palette dried immediately.

It seems that if you don’t properly close the lid while using it, it can go bad.

It seems like a deep color that could be used for furniture and such.

It looks fun to use for dry brushing, so I’ll give it a try next time!

Usually, I only did simple assembly and chipping, so that might have been my practice…

This is a gym comm created with simple assembly chipping that was made long ago.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Let’s use a wet palette!

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

This time I kept the weathering to a minimum because it was a Kempt, but I would like to try getting a ground-type machine really dirty next time.

I’d like to try Vallejo and Acrilico as they have good reputations, but there are so many options for paint that I’m confused.

>>41

I’ve heard that wet palettes are really good, but it seems difficult to adjust the moisture level…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’re doing pretty well, aren’t you?

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

A wet palette is a companion to the citadel.

You can easily make it with kitchen paper and cooking sheets.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

It suits the Gundam model of the One Year War.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wow, delicious!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re looking for an inexpensive emulsion paint that dissolves in water, acrylic gouache is great.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

There are a lot of colors here too.

What is even stronger is that it can be found in large stationery stores.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope Citadel comes out with a spray can too.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

There is.

It costs about 3000 yen each.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, to paint Citadel nicely, you need expensive lacquer-based spray, right?

Isn’t it counterproductive?
